Revision as of 00:45, 2 May 2014

These officers command the AT-AT Walkers. Stationed within the cockpit of the Imperial armored transport they control, the AT-AT Commander coordinates the efforts of the walker pilots and deployed troops with deadly efficiency.

The 501st approval requirements are listed in black.

The Armored Cavalry Detachment defines additional, optional costuming details listed in blue and red. Please visit the ACD web site for more details on these options.

For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.

This Visual Guide has been reviewed by the detachment staff and the LMO team and is certified for use as a minimum approval guideline for GMLs. GMLs are free to approve this costume type.

Any uncertainties or questionable aspects of the submitted costume should be brought to the appropriate DL/GML peer review section of the legion forum.

Required Costume Components

The following costume components are present and appear as described below.

HelmetFor 501st approval:

Open face helmet consisting of a dome (with rim) and helmet skirt.

Helmet is based on the shell of the Snowtrooper/Snow Cmdr. and the AT-ST Driver.

The helmet is painted a Grey-Green or Gray color.

A "Rangefinder" is attached to the helmet dome.

This is centered to the right side of the dome and aligned to the rim.

The rangefinder consists of :

Rectangular box about h/l/d 1.85" (47mm), 1.65" (42mm), 0.4" (10.16mm) with a slight bevel and details on. The box is the same color as the helmet.

1 screw cap or cylindrical knob approx. 0.4" (10.16mm) in diameter in the upper left corner.

2 cylindrical pins lined up in the lower left corner of the box.

1 cylindrical pin in the upper right corner of the box.

1 Rangefinder main detail (originally created from a Revell V8 carburetor, but not to be confused with the "Han Solo blaster" piece), aligned at the lower right corner of the box.

Ring shaped antenna on top of the box with about 1.5" (38.1mm) in diameter and 0.35" (9mm) depth being cut at the top.

There are 5 flat rectangular clips, positioned equally around the helmet where the dome meets the skirt. (1 in the center, 2 on each side).

Imperial Code Disks are positioned on both sides of the helmet skirt.

There are 6 screw cover greeblies positioned equally around the bottom of the helmet skirt (3 on each side).

A black trim is covering the edge of the helmet skirt and forehead of the dome.

Items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present appear as described below.

Communications HeadsetFor 501st approval:

Silver and black headset with microphone.

DH-17 BlasterFor 501st approval:

Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the DH-17 is a standard-issue Imperial sidearm for shipboard combat. The energy and power of the weapon are tuned to penetrate necessary targets, yet it will not puncture a starship's hull.

Scratch built or high-end prop replica.

E-11 BlasterFor 501st approval:

Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the E-11 is standard-issue for many Imperial troops. Light, compact yet powerful, the E-11 blaster is always in high demand throughout the galaxy.

Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster.

For level two certification (if applicable):

Folding stock.

Stock does not need to function.

A real or replica ammo counter - based off of a Hengstler counter - should be present.

D-ring mounted on the rear.

Correct style scope.

Two power cylinders on the magazine.

Scratch-built, resin cast, Hyperfirm rubber cast blasters should have a total of 6 t-racks on blaster (leaving the lowest row on the Hengstler side un-covered).

If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side.

This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place.

DL-44 Blaster PistolFor 501st approval:

Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the DL-44 Blaster has the ability to charge a heavier blast, nearly twice as powerful as similar pistols. Because the sidearm is highly modifiable and is one of the few blasters shown to have the ability to penetrate imperial armor, the Empire has placed heavy restrictions on this model and in many cases ownership is outlawed outside of imperial forces.

Scratch built or high-end prop replica.

HolsterFor 501st approval:

Holster is the appropriate color and style for the specific blaster.

Holster is not present if no blaster is carried.
